I think Estel want to say to you that this function is not yet implemented. So there is no way for a normal user to change it.

Is there a way to disable the annoying rotating to portrait mode?

@pali....

before you release latest version on OMP might i suggest you fixed two main bug in OMP....

1. Video playback bug (video files will become unknown song after you press the playback button on the bottom right)....

2. Album Playlist bug (keep showing the same playlist album even if you have change to listen to other album...the album art change but the list not)...

I know that Pali is one-man-army (with freemangordon, so it's two-man-army

), but AFAIK gdizzz is current maintainer of OMP.

As for bugs You've mentioned, they were reported and acknowledged (+explained) many times already.

I probably need some time to re-familiarise myself with the code, but may I suggest using plugins to handle lyrics? Even for local storage.

Here's an example project that uses .so files for "providers":

(GPLv3)

hi ive noticed a bug recently thought i'll let you guys know. when using OMP and playing music if i try to select a certain song from the file manager to play it doesnt open in OMP basically nothing happens! can someone double check to see if its not just my N900 which is doing this!

hi, i don't like to bump post, nor either quote myself, but, is there any chance to implement the features sugested by me previously in this post

thank you very very much for this

anyway, i use a lot my mediaplayer, and even when i'm full of curiosity about this open media player, i don't want to tempt fate and spend a few days without music, that's why i didn't try this app yet

but there are a two features that i would like to see and i think (for what i read in this thread and in gitorious) that are not present yet (please ignore them if they are already present, but as i said, i didn't test it yet)

1- a "now playing" notification, yes, i know there is already an app for this, but it's really slow and IMHO an "email like" is not the proper way to display a notification.
what i want to see it's something like this (quoting your own post)

2- an open, customizable, and embedded version of locked media player control, the last gift from qwerty12, it's really useful and i guess you could do it configurable and for those who don't want it could be even disabled

so, that are the 2 features i think they are a must, again, please ignore if they are already present, and if are not, could you implement them?

also, another bug fix/request. when we create a playlist greater than 24 hours, for example, 26hours and 30 minutes. the original media player shows 1day 2:30hs, but omp shows 26:30hs.

sorry for my bad english.

To everyone having problems with configuration not being saved: post the output of "ls -ld /home/user/.config/MohammadAG/" and "ls -l /home/user/.config/MohammadAG/mediaplayer.conf".

The last time I tried, I had little success with. Maybe I forgot to turn off Hildon's forced rotation, or maybe I didn't know what I was doing, I think it was late at night.

But I'll try again for sure.

Yes, maybe in the next release.

Number one should be fixed now. I'm chasing number two for quite some time, unfortunately it always gets me with my pants down. If you find a way to reproduce it reliably, let me know, as I'd have a bigger chance of tracking down the reason.

Looks like the best way to make everyone happy. I'll give it a try sometime in the future (unless you pick it up by then, so let me know if there's some work in progress).

Maybe you've got something strange in "/usr/share/dbus-1/services/com.nokia.mediaplayer.service". Run "openmediaplayer" from terminal and see if it spits out anything interesting after an attempt to open a file.

Or maybe you've got "Append opened songs" checked in the settings? But that would at least cause OMP's window to take focus...

Just uploaded a new version to the repositories:

Added support for pausing/resuming when headset is connected/disconnected.
Added a notification for library updates.
Massive speed improvements for some lists (no more lag when searching).
Implemented resuming a video by clicking the playback indicator.
Somehow more reliable way of getting metadata when playing videos.
Fixed a problem with keyboard grabbing.
Fixed playback indicator sometimes not reappearing.
Fixed null objects being added to the playlist when selecting a video from the categories view.
Updated translations. Thanks to new contributors: qingxianhao for Chinese and hobarrera for Spanish.

HI gidzzz thanks for your reply i did unchecked the appendopened songs and now its working fine!
I have a request is it possible to have auto playback starting when headphones are plugged in and OMP opens up! similarly how we have headphone removing stops playback could be extended to remove headphones closes OMP!
Just a little idea i had as i plug in and out headphone alot but then i have to manually start and close everytime but if we can do above it would be brilliant!
